Converting Dingbats to Layered SVG Files for SCAL plus Cricut

September 29, 2009

I just ran across a great svg blog for those using SCAL, who want to learn to use Inkscape to separate out layered items to pieces with various colors.  Here’s the gem of a blog

I so appreciate her willingness to teach, ’cause there are some things I just couldn’t find or wrap my little pea brain around!

Here’s the post specifically looking is how to paper piece from dingbat fonts:

I’m thrilled at this and have just learned how to color the pieces I separate out.

Thank you!

PS:  You’ll need SCAL to cut your own files with a Cricut.  Check my sidebar for linkage if you don’t have it yet.

Magnanimity (derived from the Latin roots magn- great, and anima, soul) is the virtue of being great of mind and heart. It encompasses, usually, a refusal to be petty, a willingness to face danger, and actions for noble purposes. Its antithesis is pusillanimity. Both terms were coined by Aristotle, who called magnanimity "the crowning virtue."

Noah Webster's 1828 Dictionary of the American Language defines Magnanimity as such:

MAGNANIM'ITY, n. [L. magnanimitas; magnus, great, and animus, mind.] Greatness of mind; that elevation or dignity of soul, which encounters danger and trouble with tranquillity and firmness, which raises the possessor above revenge, and makes him delight in acts of benevolence, which makes him disdain injustice and meanness, and prompts him to sacrifice personal ease, interest and safety for the accomplishment of useful and noble objects.[1] (Source: Wikipedia)
